ISIL Militants Abduct 20 Civilians in Kirkuk
KABUL: (Middle East Press) At least 20 people have been kidnapped by ISIL Takfiri militants in Iraq’s northern province of Kirkuk, officials said on Sunday.
The incident took place after the militants raided the villages of Tel Ali and Shawook close to the town of Hawijah, located about 282 kilometers (175 miles) north of the capital, Baghdad, during the early hours of Sunday, and kidnapped 20 civilians from their homes, Arabic-language al-Sumaria satellite television network reported citing an Iraqi security source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The source added that the terrorists accuse the people of cooperation with government officials. ISIL militants took the victims to an unknown location, warning that the abductees will be tried at courts set up by the terrorist group and most likely executed.
